  • The Many Worlds of Louis Riel: a Political Odyssey From
    The Many Worlds of Louis Riel: A Political Odyssey from Red River to Montreal and back 1840-1875 M. Max Hamon August 2017 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History and Classical Studies Faculty of Arts McGill University Montreal, Quebec © Max Hamon, 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation is the product of fruitful new archival research into the life of Louis Riel, one of the best-known figures in Canadian history. His leadership of an armed Resistance in Red River in 1869, and his involvement in the violent events of 1885, which ultimately led to his execution, changed the course and definition of the Canadian state. New documents and new approaches to previously identified records overturn earlier interpretations of his life. This intellectual biography tracks Riel’s life across several “worlds,” Indigenous and non-Indigenous, that Riel occupied over the course of his life and considers his formative years through four key themes: family, education, political culture, and networking. The tensions and pressures between these worlds allowed Riel to develop the cultural expertise necessary to challenge Canadian state hegemony. The choice to end the biography in 1875, rather than with his death in 1885, affords an opportunity to present new arguments about the impact of his life. Using the cultural capital, social networks, and an intellectual “toolkit” he acquired over the course of his early years, Riel proposed a Confederation that would defend and represent the interests of the Métis. Résumé Le résultat d’une recherche archivistique fructueuse, cette thèse propose une nouvelle interprétation de la vie de Louis Riel, chef métis et figure incontournable de l’histoire canadienne.
